I think there may be all manner of megafauna still extant across the world.

Plesiosaurs bore live young and may have been warm blooded according to some reports, so if they were actually some form of prototype mammal then there's no reason why they couldn't have survived into the current era.

That said, 2017 has recorded nine sightings... a record for this century. And there's still over a month to go.

However IMHO, most of the reports lack real substance. Just like the current crop of Bigfoot and Yowie encounters. I'm still fervently hoping this digital age we live in will someday provide spectacular evidence (preferably video) of these highly elusive cryptid creatures.

According to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Registry, there have been 1094 recorded sightings of Nessie.

I enjoyed the fact that they're 'sharing the love' by mentioning the 23 other Lochs where mystery animals have been sighted. They could end up with a whole tourist trail there; like the Great Ocean Road, only less hazardous.

There's a new search for the Loch Ness Monster... and surprisingly it involves Kiwis and DNA!

Exciting? Of course. However, if they do find unknown environmental DNA samples, they will probably end up like those supposedly from Bigfoot and Yowies. The 'establishment' will simply explain them away. And the skeptics will say..."I told you so!"

Hey Searcher
Yep your def right it will be debunks as per usual.
Some countries like Russia and China/Asian do not or are less likely debunk stuff , unlike our all controlling western governments who treat us like mushrooms by keeping us in the dark and feeding us nothing but bovine excretement....
I put some links below that may interest you.... seems like Loch Ness Monster like critters are not only in Scotland.... perhaps there will be some good hairy person pics/stories from these regions also.../vids
